Title: always check yourself!
Post by: houston on 27 September 2011, 20:16

fitted my r32 style exhaust today (nearly finished) remember when i got the car my mate checked the anni rear valance and said its a rep, so today i took the dremel to it, and its good plastic, not fibre glass and i thought it was a bit strange for a copy to be so thick, so ive checked, and yes, it was genuine!

gutted, i could have sold it and bought a rep r32 and made the job 10x easier. so moral is, dont trust your mates! ive looked and found the skirts are also genuine r32 ones, i honestly wont listen to him again, so called expert, my ass! :angry:

straight fit, only difference is inner wheel arch extensions, but you dont 'need' these, other than that they line up with everything
